Tonight 37 years ago has gone down in history as Kristallnacht or the Night of the Crystals. This was the night on Nov. 10, 1938 when Hitler's Nazi storm troopers

This link with the infamous Kristallnacht was made by Israel's Ambassador Chaim Herzog just prior to the vote in the General Assembly on the resolution which termed Zionism "a form of racism and racial discrimination." The resolution was adopted' after a. four-and-a-halfrhour
debate by a vote of 72-35 with 32 abstentions. , Herzog in a speech that traced the history of Zionism concluded by angrily tearing up the resolution, after declaring that "for us, the Jewish people, this resolution based on hatred, falsehood, and arrogance, is devoid of any legal value, For us, the Jewish people, this is no more than a piece of paper and we shall treat it as such." He was roundly applauded. Earlier Herzog told the General Assembly
delegates that "I stand not here as a supplicant. Vote as your moral conscience dictates to you. For the issue is not"-Israel nor Zionism. The issue is the continued existence of this organization which has been dragged to its lowest point of discredit by a coalition of despotisms and racists."
Herzog added that "For us the Jewish people, this is but a passing episode in a rich and event-filled history. We put our trust in our Providence, in our faith and
